If Trump had even tried to behave in an adult civilized manner he would have achieved a great deal. Instead he acts like a 10 year old spoiled boy with impulse control issues and skin about as thick as an onion's. He made it a point to alienate anyone who didn't agree with his every thought.
So profoundly true you are. Once again, if only Trump had said he learned a lot from Reagan, rather than from Nixon, he would still be president.

And wouldn't Sanders have been a better candidate for socialism?

No, but surely Trump supporters think Biden should in an executive order call out thousands from the National Guard to help unload cargo ships.

Really, I'll never forget it back when on Fox News Hannity during an interview asked him what his 2nd term policies would be like. Trump simply mouthed off a non-answer totally unrelated. I knew further why I couldn't be wrong and foolish enough to vote for him.

Trump, no doubt, knew how to try to use people but only to his advantage. Notice how he didn't pardon anybody charged with the Jan. 6 uprising before he left office.

Yeah, I voted for him. I'm for Medicare For All. It would be no more terrible to have than what other civilized countries have for their citizens.

So you went from "I don't believe you" to "I agree with it!"

Just curious......do you think the rioters of 2020 should be considered "domestic terrorists?"

Odd? Where did this happen at? Why were charges no brought against Trump, when the only thing the media could go after Trump was that of a willing Stormy Daniel's. More Contrived Fake BS.

How about a president and his party that first lies, and then says things like "our patience is wearing thin" and "I gave you until July to get the vaccine" and then cheers people getting fired for not bending to his will.

Every member of his administration is some sort of radical leftist, who get on camera and laugh in your face, like over the price of fuel for example

Has nothing to do with what they are fighting for -- it is all about how they fight.
how about a administration and party who lied about mandates, and NOW want to mandate kids as well?

They know that capitalism is their golden goose, and they do not wish to kill it, just to steal some of its eggs.
yes they want to they just can't openly say it too much but hints get out like Biden's nominee for comptroller who has said that the government should take over private banking.
